... Our approach combines a simple model of radiative transfer in dust clouds with a state-of-the-art model of the microscopic optical properties of dust grains pioneered by Draine & Li. ... Our simplified analysis follows Draine & Li (2001). ... A particular strength is its state-ofthe-art model of the mid-infrared PAH features: we treat the transient heating of small dust grains using the sophisticated method of Draine & Li (2001) and use the grain interaction cross sections of Draine & Li (2007). ...

... The resultant serendipitous source catalogues have made a significant contribution to our knowledge of the X-ray sky and our understanding of the nature of the various Galactic and extragalactic source populations. The XMM-Newton Observatory (Jansen et al. 2001) provides unrivaled capabilities for serendipitous X-ray surveys by virtue of the large field of view of the X-ray telescopes with the EPIC X-ray cameras1 (Turner et al. ... Typical observations yield 50 serendipitous sources per field. ...
